What students say
“She is thriving, is more focused and most importantly more confident from being a member of this community :)”
“All of the instructors are great role models but my son in particular loves Master Steve and Master Moon, who use humor in a way that he really connects to.”
“We love the acrobatics class since there is no good gymnastics option close by and Master Steven is an expert on form, so I’m not worried about my kids getting hurt.”
“The values of encouragement, strength, support, respect, empowerment, and kindness are clearly taught and embodied in their classes and the environment and vibe of the whole place.”
From the reviews
We have been with Blue Moon for about 6 years! This dojang is more than just Tae Kwon Do. These masters have helped my kids learn to persevere and face challenges with grace, while also helping to promote sportsmanship, kindness and respect. It has been a second family to us.
If you are looking to put your kids in Tae Kwon Do, this is the place! I have 3 kids who attend classes at Blue Moon and I can't say enough good things about them. Each Instructor/Master is nicer than the next. Master Helen is always helpful and the classes are truly impactful.
I have been a student at blue moon since 2017. I was one of their first students in their black belt program and was able to successfully complete my black belt training. Master Helen and team always accommodated me, especially when I was pregnant with my third baby.
My daughter has been taking TKD at Blue Moon for almost a year. When she was on the brink of quitting and giving up Master Helen and Master Steve worked to keep her focused and dedicated. She is thriving, is more focused and most importantly more confident from being a member of this community :)
New to taekwondo? Start at Blue Moon Martial Arts & MePowerment
Blue Moon Martial Arts & MePowerment comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Blue Moon Martial Arts & MePowerment
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
